Gynaecological cancer research - finding kinder and gentler treatments

Some years ago, Jane Grealy's life was turned upside-down by a cancer diagnosis. Today she is changing lives by raising funds for cancer research with an alternate Melbourne Cup party that celebrates kindness and hope rather than horseracing.

Story

Each year in Australia, more than 6,500 women are diagnosed with gynaecological cancer. Unfortunately 1 in 3 of these women will not do well. The Queensland Centre for Gynaecological Cancer Research (QCGC Research) was established to research and develop the best standard of care for women experiencing gynaecological cancer. Research gives these women hope. No one understands this more than Brisbane artist, Jane Grealy, who was treated for cancer a few years ago. Jane's gynaecological oncologist, Professor Andreas Obermair, is also the Director of QCGC Research. His passion for research and determination to find kinder and more effective treatments for women, inspired Jane to help raise much-needed funds for women's cancer research by organising Bolted, an alternative Melbourne Cup event.

Thank you for sharing Jane's resolve to make a positive difference in changing womens lives. Your donation will help find a brighter future for all women with gynaecological cancer.
